The Filtrete Water Station quickly filters tap water directly into four 16.9-ounce bottles reducing chlorine taste, odor and sediment. Each system comes with 4 bottles and a Filtrete Fast Flow filter that lasts up to 100-gallon, or about 3 months.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Neat idea, convenient, BPA-free. However, somewhat chintzy, basic filter, price point a little too high (3.5 stars)
Pros:
* The biggest pro is that the bottles are BPA-Free. We recycled all our plastic cups & water bottles that didn't have a BPA-free stamp on it, and this unit is a nice way to replace 4 bottles at once.
* The unit is easy to assemble, easy to use.
* It's convenient to grab a bottle on the go.
* Easy to wash (bottles have a wide mouth, the lids screw off completely for washing)
Cons:
* The filter is just a basic activated charcoal filter. Don't get me wrong - activated charcoal is one of those miracle discoveries that has a million uses. But the filter is thin, it doesn't "push" the water through the filter at an even rate, and needs frequent replacing.
This probably only filters out 50% of the contaminants in regular faucet water. Better than nothing, but don't think that it's "pure" water.
* Bottles are too small (16.9oz), even for children. Should be 20-24 ounces.
* The lid on the...

Love It...so Far.
I like this 'water station.' Another reviewer said it takes up more room than his Vitamix...no, it doesn't, but it isn't tiny.
I popped open the box, cleaned it as instructed and filled up our bottles.
I like the water bottles, they are nice and sturdy, perfect for our son's school lunches or a trip to the gym. The bottles are easy to clean, and I haven't had any issues with water leakage when filling them up in the station. The water filters out quickly, no long waits.
At first glance, I thought this was expensive, but we paid about $12 for our Camelbak bottles, on the other hand, they are bigger than the bottles that come with this system. But my issue is going to be replacing the filter. I'm not always good about that, and when the filter needs to be replaced, I simply move over to my fridge and get my water from there. And that means, I have something sitting on my counter, or in my cabinets that I don't use very often.
I like this...
Forces me to drink more water
For many years now, I've been a big advocate of clean water. The common tap contains a mixture of lead, chlorine, pesticides, fungicides, minerals, and fluoride.
Whenever I go to a restaurant, I instantly know when I'm drinking tap water by the bitter taste. You can somewhat disguise it by making the water cold (using ice), but not totally.
I use a carbon filter at home, which supposedly removes 99% of the contaminants. The nice thing about carbon is that the water still contains the positive minerals that our bodies need. Whereas reverse osmosis removes everything, good and bad.
I mention this because the Filtrete 4-Bottle Water Station uses a carbon based filter. As of this review, the replacements cost $9.50 and can be located on Amazon here: 3M Filtrete Fast Flow Filter. The manufacturer claims that each one lasts for approximately three months. That would be $38 a year to...
